What else to remember

• Trump raided.

  Former US President Donald Trump announced on Monday that his famous Florida residence, Mar-a-Lago, had been “searched” by the federal police (FBI).

  "Our nation is living in dark times, my beautiful home, Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, is under siege and has been raided and occupied by numerous FBI agents," he said in a statement, claiming to be the victim of "political persecution".

  The FBI confirmed this search, but did not comment.

  It's unclear if it's related to the attempted invasion of the Capitol on January 6, 2021, for example.

• Issey Miyake is dead.

  The famous Japanese fashion designer has died at the age of 84, an employee of his office in Tokyo announced on Tuesday.

  Issey Miyake was seven years old on August 6, 1945 when the United States dropped the first atomic bomb in history on his hometown, killing 140,000 people and traumatizing the survivors for life.

  He survived, but his mother died three years later from radiation.

• China ready to invade Taiwan?

  The territory believes that its large neighboring country is "preparing an invasion", and it conducts its own military exercises.

  Early Tuesday morning, the Taiwan army conducted - as it does regularly - a live ammunition exercise, simulating the defense of the island against a Chinese invasion.

  At a press conference in Taipei, Taiwanese Foreign Minister Joseph Wu said that Beijing “used the exercises and its military roadmap to prepare for the invasion of Taiwan”.

• Vaccination against monkeypox tested in pharmacies.

  Five pharmacies located in Île-de-France, Paca and Hauts-de-France will vaccinate eligible people who wish to do so from Wednesday.

  This experiment, which aims in particular to compensate for the lack of "arms" in the vaccination centers, must last two weeks.

Dairy products even more expensive.

You may have noticed that the prices of fresh produce have increased recently.

Bad news: this trend will continue.

"The price increases, which have existed for several months, will continue for dairy products", warns Benoît Rouyer, economic director of the National Interprofessional Center for Dairy Economics (Cniel).

In addition to the rapid post-Covid recovery and the war in Ukraine, which amplified inflation, global warming has also had a very concrete impact on livestock farming.

“The meadows are yellow, brown, the cows, the sheep, have nothing to eat, there will be damage over time.

Farmers take in their winter stocks, there will be cash flow problems to feed all mouths, ”said Christiane Lambert, president of the FNSEA, on BFM Business on Tuesday.
